While forthcoming legislation is driving wider adoption of active driver and cabin monitoring systems, some automakers are capitalizing on the cameras installed to offer other value-added features to their customers.
This is what the new Mercedes S-Class aims to achieve …
Advanced driver monitoring systems go mainstream
Camera-based driver monitoring systems are appearing in mid-segment as well as premium segment vehicles.
The wider adoption of this active safety system is driven by forthcoming stricter legislation and the need to prepare for highly-automated driving.
